LETTER: The benefits of unionism
May 14, 2020 - 9:00 pm
In response to your Monday editorial, “Worker freedom leads to plummeting union rolls”: I am deeply saddened by this point of view because, in the end, all the Supreme Court’s Janus ruling does is let a bunch of freeloading people collect the benefits that unions bring, tangible or nontangible.
The unions do more than most people realize. In terms of wages, if not for my union, I would lose a lot more annual income then I pay in dues. It’s a no-brainer. If people don’t want to be a part of something, then they shouldn’t reap the rewards. America works best when you say “union yes.”
